I hate tree skirts. I always have. They're always bunching up and shifting, so last year, I tossed my old one, and this year I bought this. I have bronze lamps in my living room, and although this is copper, the color is close enough, and will be beneath the tree, so it will pull things together nicely. It come in 4 pieces that "click" together easily for use, and for storage. Pretty excited to see how this is going to look when the tree goes up.
